We must acknowledge the harm students, families, and teachers have experienced in our schools as a step towards repairing that harm. The next comment is from Pam Washington. She writes, given BOE meetings are on Zoom now, it would be very helpful to communicate the notice of BOE meetings by sending an email within 48 hours and also embedding the BOE meeting link front and center on the district's homepage the day of the meeting so people don't have to search for it. Thank you. Next comment is from Lori Anzalotti. Lori writes, I ask that you please publicize the dates that the Board of Education will attend equity training and which training they will use, Crossroads, ADL, et cetera. If the board has not selected a date and training group, please publicize why there is a delay and when the citizens of Clayton can expect their elected leaders to take this training. The board's having a shared experience, the board's having a share training experience is a critical move is critical to move anti-bias, anti-racism resolution forward. Thank you, Lori Anzalotti. Next comment is from Suzanne Whitman. Good evening. The district has been making strides on the issues of anti-bias and anti-racism. The district has welcomed Cameron Poole as the new Director of Equity and Inclusion, and we'd like to extend our own welcome to him on behalf of the more than 700 community members who signed the Clayton Anti-Racism Collective's petition.
